As well, 10 kilometres of connector roads and interchanges will be upgraded as part of the overall project.

When finished, the final section of the ring road will contain 66 bridges, 20 interchanges, two underpasses and several river crossings.

The details were released at a news conference on Wednesday, during which officials unveiled new planning drawings for the last section of the Calgary Ring Road.

“While we are still a long way from putting shovels in the ground, we are committed to providing residents with the most up-to-date information on what the road is going to look like,” said Minister of Transportation Wayne Drysdale, in a news release.
